Fine Heirloom Sewing, Smocking and Hand Embroidery

"Baby will be well and smiling in little garments made by Mother, Auntie, Grannie and loving friends!"

Please join me as I teach the old fashioned techniques and skills needed to sew baby clothes. You will find lessons that start at the very beginning and take you step by step as we sew little baby clothes together. May you find much joy and pleasure in making them.

Cynthia from the California Stitching Blog, won the basket I donated. I know she will make very good use of the Antique buttons in the basket!

And here you see my Shawl (the one my sister knitted me) looking quite elegant.

I really loved my crown, but alas I had to give up my Princess-hood as the Convention ended. I didn't look at all out of place wearing it .....

...the convention was a stones throw from Disney Land....there were alot of little Princesses running around.

And after all the classes were over, I went to Disney Land along with other SAGA friends. And we crossed paths with several SAGA ladies as we made our way around the park. I am continuing my "Have More Fun" New Years resolution!!

What a wonderful peek into the convention! Thanks for sharing your pictures--and your basket with all the goodies. I'm sure lots of $ was raised from the raffle. Thanks for sharing, Jeannie. P.S. Your shawl is gorgeous. Anyone wearing such a lovely thing should be wear a tiara.

I love babies, embroidery and old fashioned Baby Clothes!! I am the designer for the pattern line "The Old Fashioned Baby". My designs reflect my interest in vintage infant's and children's clothing, as do my classes, many of which include techniques and embellishments used from the late 1800's to the 1950's. I teach these techniques around the United States and publish some of my designs and ideas in Sew Beautiful magazine. And I love Roses and all the flowers in My Garden (and yours too, probably).
